I have a major crush on Ben Shapiro. ---

Bringing back this thread from near-death just to state I’ve developed an odd attraction to Jenny Slate. ---

I’m asexual, but I have the hots for Jim Parson and would do him in a minute. ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > I had a celeb crush on **[Victoria Coren](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Coren_Mitchell)** for a while because smart funny women really do it for me (which I suppose is why I married one). But she went and married someone far smarter and funnier than me. In recent years I became addicted to British panel shows on YouTube, and yeah. But Aisling Bea is my queen. And Sue Perkins. The funny thing is that her being gay does not affect my chances with her compared to the others since my chances are zero all around. ---

And speaking of Sue Perkins, [Mel Giedroyc](https://www.google.com/search?q=Mel+Giedroyc&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS749US749&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAOPgE-LSz9U3SEkvNisyVeIEsY2LTSsMtNQzyq30k_NzclKTSzLz8_RLyuILivLTixJzi60KilKLU_NKUlMUkioBakGRZUIAAAA&biw=1024&bih=600&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdiLDW3rPaAhUBBHwKHQqvDqkQ_AUIESgB#imgdii=_F8Q1GTmTxzGcM:&imgrc=5sO3nnlbFxE-FM:) is smart, funny, and though, in the tradition of British dentistry, all of the teeth on her left side migrated to the middle, she is utterly adorable and crushable. ---

I haven’t watched **SNL** in forever, but Kate McKinnon makes my heart go pitter-pat. ---

I have a crush on Anthony Bourdain, plus he cooks. ---

> [@Loach](#): > > Bryce Dallas Howard. I don’t think it’s unusual since she is gorgeous but maybe uncommon since she isn’t marketed as a sex symbol. Heh. She’s not a crush of mine, but I have exactly three photos hanging in my living room and one is of Bryce Dallas Howard. I didn’t even know who it was in the photograph, but one of my friends was a set photographer and he had a nice picture of her holding a basket of apples in a field. No idea what movie/TV program it was from, but I liked the photo, so it’s hanging on my wall. (The other two are from other photographer friends of mine–one an aerial photo of ice skaters in New York City; the other a couple of women in one of the Turkish baths in Budapest.) ---

I also like Jeremy Wade from Monster Fish TV show. His teeth are weird, but very white. Very. White. ---

Riki Lindhome, Shannon Woodward, Emmy Rossum are my current crushes. ---

I don’t think Emmy Rossum is that unusual a crush as I have one on her too. She look so gorgeous in her [Her Slow Me Down video.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiLcw4juIMk) Sue Heck from The Middle is one of mine. Girl next door who could be really hot if she wanted to be. ---

When I was a young fella I had a bad crush on the [cover girl](https://www.discogs.com/Booker-T-The-MGs-Hip-Hug-Her/master/150022) on the Booker T and the MG’s Hip Hug-Her album. I wrote to Stax records, looking for her contact info. Still haven’t heard back. ---

When I was younger I had a huge crush on Marlee Matlin. And she just turned up on The Magicians, and still looks great. ---

Probably not that uncommon a crush, but I recently found Mr. Robert Carlyle is also on ‘Stargate Universe’ as well as ‘Once Upon A Time’. He looks old, dirty, ratty, and deranged on SU but when he kissed one of the women on the show - OMG I felt a little shockwave of pure desire waft right through my tired old bod. ---

Noah Wylie, I think because he reminds me of an ex from a long time ago. The one I sometime stop and ask myself what might’ve been. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > Let’s see if we can finagle a double-date. I’ll take Cicely Strong. You might want to get her name right before you go on that date, it’s [Cecily Strong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecily_Strong).
